Title: DOCTOR WHO: THE DROSTEN'S CURSE.
Authors: BRANDON ROBSHAW
Source: Independent (UK). 01/31/2016.
Abstract: A L Kennedy is a serious literary novelist and short-story writer, the winner of several awards; but it's clear that she has turned her hand to this Doctor Who novelisation for love. It has that characteristic blend of the scary and the funny that the best Doctor Who episodes have. An ancient alien monster is terrorising a golf course in Arbroath, manifesting first as a man-eating sand bunker, later as a giant octopus. But there to combat it are Bryony, intrepid hotel receptionist, Putta, a humanoid and somewhat ineffectual alien, and of course, the Doctor, in Tom Baker mode. The style is reminiscent at times of Douglas Adams. It's a good-hearted romp, with trademark cliffhanger chapter endings, and I enjoyed every page of it. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
